The Happy News

Remember how I was trying to justify my recent lack of posting with personal life events ? (here, if you missed it)Well, I have some very exciting news to share with you, from the personal life department...

I'M PREGNANT !!!

I can't believe I'm finally able to share this with you ! I feel like it's been forever since I found out and had to keep it a secret.Actually, I'm not sure if it's the same in every country or culture, but in France most people tend to wait for a few weeks before telling everyone about a pregnancy. The 3-months mark is usually when women start telling their bosses and colleagues, and when they officially declare their pregnancy to the French administration. I've passed the risky first 3-months, so now the secret's out ! And it feels bloody great, lemme tell ya.

I might do a seperate post telling you about how I found out, how I told the hubby, and what my first trimester was like. To give you a heads up, the past few weeks have been pretty manic, hence the lack of activity on the blog...But for now I just wanted to let you guys know that I'M HAVING A BABY !! (The excitment levels are very high, trust the capital letters.)As I'm writing this, I'm 16-weeks pregnant, and my little baby is due for the end of February. It's getting more baby-like and taller and bigger everyday, and it's getting harder to fit into my jeans every morning. Thank goodness for Asos Maternityand next-day delivery.We don't know yet if we're having a boy or a girl, and we will try to keep it a surprise until the end. That is, of course, unless my curiosity and urge to buy dozens of pink or blue pyjamas don't get the best of me.

I'm feeling overwhelmingly happy and I'm really excited to share this new chapter of my life with you. You can expect some pregnancy and baby-related posts on the blog in the future, but I'll still talk about all the other things I love (lipsticks, jackets, candles and Nutella, just to name a few).If some of you are also pregnant or just had a baby, let's chat in the comments and exchange tips and fun stories and stuff ! That would be lovely, wouldn't it ?

CONGRATULATIONS lady!!! How bloody exciting for you girl! I'm so broody but will wait another few years I think - so happy for you though lovely, I would also LOVE to read how you found out/told your husband! :)
